Late Morning Foggy Falcon Watch – 2/8/15
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Just a quick watch report today. By the time I made my way downtown, it was still very foggy, but I could just see up into the elevator shaft on OCSR. Two falcons were up there, one on each ledge. The falcon on the north ledge took off and zipped around the south side of OCSR, landing on the top IBeam. When I ended my watch an hour later, they hadn’t moved.
Since MAK had both Billie and 99 at Seneca Towers this morning and I had both Beauty and Dot.ca downtown, all 4 Rochester Falcons were seen today.
Here are some pics from my downtown falcon watch.
